Pros

salary is competitive. some nice people.

Cons

Most managers are lousy. They care only for their own $$. They don't care about their direct report. They are the captain of the ship that will jump ship first when the boat is sinking. They will throw any projects to you without even considering your current portfolio and expect you to deliver. If you fail, it is your fault. Managers don't take blame. As I said, they only take care of themselves.

Business Outlook

Pros

Flexibility to work from home. Manager takes care of staff and ensure we are meeting challenges at work to help us stay satisfied in our roles.

Cons

Continuing downsizing efforts to cut headcount and aggressive cost cutting measures have led to low morale in the organization. Difficult to get progression although efforts were put in. Depends on open vacancies, not on merits. Not much focus on professional development in recent years.

Business Outlook

Pros

Work life balance is possible. However, occasional long hours are needed. Depends on the group. In summer, there are summer hours with half a day on Friday. Great educational assistance policy that covers most of the tuition.

Cons

Lack of recognition by management. Not well defined career paths. Probably would have to move to another area to move vertically up.
